For only the second time in history, Double D Ranch is being offered for sale. Spanning 820 contiguous and deeply private acres, this premier Montana legacy estate offers unmatched seclusion, sweeping Bitterroot Mountain panoramas, and a thriving wildlife ecosystem with rolling hills, native grass meadows, live spring waters, and frequent visits from elk, deer, and moose—all while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. At the heart of this expansive estate is a nearly 6,000-square-foot chalet-style home built by Garber Construction in 2016. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, this split-floor-plan masterpiece perfectly frames panoramic views of the snow-capped Bitterroot Mountain peaks and the rolling valley below. Stepping inside, custom interior design and hand-selected finishes create a warm environment that instantly evokes the feeling of home. The great room features soaring ceilings, hand-scraped hickory flooring, and a custom rock fireplace, all surrounded by natural light and immense mountain vistas. The formal dining area is set in an open-concept layout, yet beautifully delineated by inset durable ceramic tiles to create a subtle sense of separation. A tastefully placed wet bar is situated near the dining area, within easy reach of the kitchen. Thoughtful design shines in the elegant chef's kitchen, which features butternut wood cabinets, a spacious center island, and seamlessly integrated appliances. A formal sitting room with a natural-rock fireplace sits just off the dining area, capturing Sapphire Mountain views while offering a quiet space for reflection. Each wing of the home offers a full primary suite. The main primary suite is situated on the north wing of the home. Large windows with automatic blinds offer constant landscape views of the picturesque Bitterroot Mountains and frame this custom-designed retreat. A large walk-in closet provides ample space for clothing and storage, while the ensuite bath offers a generous tiled shower, soaker tub, and a large vanity with double sinks. A private exterior door provides direct access from the primary suite to the patio and hot tub. The south wing features the second primary suite. This space is enveloped in natural light and boasts endless sunset views of the North Bitterroot Mountains, and provides direct access to the expansive outdoor living area. A full ensuite bath provides a walk-in tiled shower and a separate water closet.
Downstairs, you are greeted by a full walk-out daylight basement. This level features in-floor radiant heat, a full living area with a rock fireplace, a kitchenette with tile finishes, and a large third bedroom. The third full bath features a fully tiled shower and a natural quartz stone vanity. The bedroom and living area both offer seamless access to the lower outdoor living spaces.
Extra amenities in the main residence include an expansive laundry room with a half bath. Conveniently located just off the garage, this space features a wash basin, extra storage, and incredible counter space. An in-home office provides a professional workspace with a built-in desk and bookshelves, while a walk-in pantry is cleverly tucked away near the kitchen so as to not detract from the main culinary space.
Featuring over 3,000 square feet of outdoor living space, inclusive of a built-in barbecue and cooking area, entertaining here is a must. The expansive outdoor living area captures every angle of the jagged peaks and drainages of the Bitterroot Mountains, while a custom automatic sunshade allows for maximum enjoyment of this space in all weather. Mature landscaping finalizes the elegance of the main estate.
Situated just up the drive from the main home is a true equestrian masterpiece. Designed with both horse health and handler convenience in mind, this exceptional facility offers a flawless blend of professional-grade functionality and premium comfort. Built to complement the home, this horse barn features 6 full stalls, a heated tack room, and a separate office with a half bath. The equestrian facility includes built-in tie-ups and covered hay storage. On the exterior of the barn, you will find a sand riding arena, two full 5-acre turn-out paddocks with loafing sheds, and automatic waterers. Additional undercover storage is situated on the east side of the barn, featuring both on-site gas and diesel fuel tanks, with ample room for trailers or heavy equipment.
Complementing the main estate is an equally impressive 1,514-square-foot guest house—perfect for extended family, a caretaker, or hosting discerning guests in absolute comfort and privacy. This residence was the original farmhouse and has been fully remodeled with a bright, airy, and timeless interior design. This additional home provides 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, preserving the original warmth of the home with thoughtful updates that will not leave you disappointed.
